Policy

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how the native RadioPlayer application for Android (net.klevze.radio) handles information when you listen to radio stations, use Android Auto or Google Cast, and configure app features. RadioPlayer does not require an account and does not contain advertising or analytics SDKs.

Effective date: September 3, 2026

Information stored on your device

RadioPlayer stores app settings and operational data locally in Android DataStore and app-private cache files. This lets the app restore your choices without creating an online account.

  • favorite and recently played station identifiers;
  • the last selected station, without automatically starting playback after a normal app restart;
  • country, category, language and sorting filters, app language and visualizer preference;
  • an optional sleep-timer deadline;
  • an optional wake-alarm schedule and the station information needed to run it;
  • a local list of up to 50 recently played track titles and artists, shown on the "Recently played" screen and cleared from Settings;
  • a cached station catalog and cached station artwork needed for reliable operation.

Station search text is used only for the current session and is not kept as a search history.

Network connections and radio streams

The app uses HTTPS to retrieve station-catalog updates from radio.76bit.net. When you select a station, audio and artwork are requested directly from that station's or content provider's server. A small fixed allowlist of HTTP audio hosts may be used only when a stream does not support HTTPS. RadioPlayer does not disable or bypass TLS certificate validation.

Those third-party servers may receive technical information required to deliver the request, such as your IP address, device or network information, requested URL and request time. Their own privacy policies and retention practices apply. RadioPlayer does not control the availability or logging practices of third-party stations.

Background playback and notifications

While audio is playing, Android may display a media notification and MediaSession controls in the notification area, on the lock screen, on Bluetooth devices or in other compatible system surfaces. On Android 13 and later, the app may request notification permission for these controls. Notifications are used only for playback and alarm-related functionality, not for advertising.

Sleep timer and wake alarm

The sleep timer stores an on-device deadline. If you enable the wake alarm, RadioPlayer uses Android's exact-alarm capability so playback can start at the time you selected. Android may ask you to grant Alarms & reminders access. After a reboot, time-zone change or relevant system event, the app only reschedules an enabled alarm; receiving the boot event does not itself start playback. Exact timing may still be affected by device-manufacturer battery policies.

Android Auto

When connected to Android Auto, the vehicle interface can browse the on-device station catalog, favorites and recent stations, display station artwork, search for stations and control the same playback session used by the phone. RadioPlayer does not create a separate car account, and connecting Android Auto does not by itself start playback. Android Auto and Google may process technical information needed to provide the connection and voice features under their own terms.

Google Cast

Google Cast is optional and starts only when you choose a compatible receiver. Google Cast and Android's Media Router discover receivers on your local network. RadioPlayer sends the selected station's public stream URL and basic metadata, such as its name and artwork URL, to the selected receiver using the Default Media Receiver. Google and the receiver may process technical information required to establish and operate that session. RadioPlayer does not add a separate Cast analytics account.

Audio visualizer

The optional 32-band visualizer analyzes audio samples already being decoded for playback inside the app. The analysis is used only to draw the on-screen animation. It does not use the microphone, does not require the RECORD_AUDIO permission, is not saved as an audio recording and is not sent to the developer.

Album / track cover art

RadioPlayer does not contact any external album-art or music-metadata service. The artwork shown in the player, the media notification, on the lock screen and in Android Auto is the logo or image supplied by the radio station (or the app's own placeholder when a station provides none). The current song's artist and title, when a station broadcasts them, are shown as text only and are never sent anywhere for an artwork lookup.

Information not collected by the developer

RadioPlayer 2.0.0 does not include developer-operated:

  • user accounts or cloud synchronization of favorites and settings;
  • advertising or user-profiling SDKs;
  • analytics SDKs;
  • sale of personal information;
  • access to your location, microphone, contacts, photos or files;
  • upload of your listening or track history to the developer — the bounded list of recently played tracks is kept only on your device.

This statement does not cover technical data processed independently by Android, Google Play, Android Auto, Google Cast, radio stations, stream hosts or artwork providers under their own policies.

Deleting your data

RadioPlayer has no online account to delete. You can remove locally stored favorites, recent stations, preferences, timers, alarms and cached data by opening Android Settings, selecting Apps, RadioPlayer, Storage, and clearing the app's storage. Uninstalling the app also removes its local app data, subject to Android or Google backup and restore settings controlled by you. You can revoke notification, alarm and other granted app access at any time in Android Settings.

Android TV

RadioPlayer 2.0.0 does not provide a separately installable native Android TV application. You may cast from the phone app to a compatible Google TV or Cast receiver.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when RadioPlayer's behavior, dependencies or external services change. The effective date above identifies the current version. For privacy questions, use the developer contact information published with RadioPlayer on its Google Play listing.
